It’s a modern, creative medium that is growing rapidly and is being used in so many industries and by so many individuals – hobbyists and professionals alike. This book is just a slice of what’s out there in the digital painting world, but within this “slice” we aim to offer a comprehensive cross-section of tips and techniques from some of the most accomplished digital artists in the industry today. We cover a wide variety of popular subjects, from aliens, creatures and humans through to robots, cityscapes and natural environments, including Matthew Lewis Terra-stoma © Dr. Chee Ming Wong Introduction ix Free Resources Some of our Digital Painting Techniques tutorial artists have kindly supplied, where appropriate and possible, free resources to accompany their tutorials for you to download to follow along with their teachings. You will fi nd free custom brushes donated by Carlos Cabrera, Mélanie Delon, Mike Corriero, Daarken and Nykolai Aleksander, and on top of these 3DTotal are also providing a base painting to accompany some of our environment tutorials by Carlos Cabrera, as well as a photo (plate) for the matte painting tutorials by Tiberius Viris. All you need to do to access these free resources is to visit the new 3DTotal micro site at www.focalpress.com/ digitalartmasters, go to the Books section, and there you will fi nd information on how to download the fi les. Simply look out for the “free resources” logo on articles within this book that have fi les for you to download from www.focalpress.com/digitalartmasters! weather effects and many more. The styles we cover vary from speed painting, offering a more traditional impressionistic style, through to setting up the many custom brushes that can provide precise, technical and often time-saving techniques. Speaking of traditional media, it is important to remember that digital painting is becoming more widely accepted and highly regarded as the techniques and resulting imagery advance. Long gone is the time of sceptics who regarded painting with the aid of hardware and software as cheating; the artist still needs to be just as talented as ever before to produce the breathtaking work you can see throughout these pages. However, with the benefi ts that digital painting offers, such as increased speed, freedom to experiment, effi cient workfl ows and ease of sharing work with online communities, more and more artists are discovering and embracing this incredible medium. And with guides such as this book, we strive for everyone interested in digital art to be the best they possibly can be by learning from the masters’ tutorials, whilst being inspired by their gallery images.
